Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Long John Silver's at 4.7 against Giovanni’s's 2.9. Long John Silver's also leads on ratings volume (28K vs 65) and update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 5 months). Giovanni’s's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Long John Silver's holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 2.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Long John Silver's has 28K ratings behind it against 65, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 31% of Giovanni’s's written reviews are positive against 27% of Long John Silver's's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Giovanni’s ships an update every 5 months, Long John Silver's every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 20, 2026 and September 27, 2026 respectively.
